HIGHWAY ACCIDENTS IN RELATION TO ROADSIDE BUSINESS AND ADVERTISING

A STUDY WAS UNDERTAKEN JOINTLY WITH THE IOWA STATE HIGHWAY COMMISSION AND THE IOWA SAFETY COUNCIL TO ASCERTAIN SOME FACTS ABOUT HIGHWAY ACCIDENTS AND SOME OF THE POSSIBLE CAUSES. THE PLANNING STEPS INVOLVED ARE: (1) THE SURVEY AND FACT FINDINGS, (2) ANALYSIS OF FACTS, (3) PREPARATION OF PLAN, (4) CARRYING OUT THE PLAN, AND (5) OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE OF THE IMPROVED FACILITY. IT IS HOPED THAT THIS SURVEY WILL SHOW THE HIGHWAY COMMISSION WHAT CHANGES IN THEIR PLANS AND REGULATIONS SHOULD BE PROPOSED FOR THE FUTURE EXPANDED SYSTEM IN IOWA FOR HIGHWAY SAFETY.
